Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Briquetting Machinery.
Inventor: DENISON GEORGE HENRY
IPC: B30B11/02
Filed: 1911-03-24
Granted: 1912-03-25
Abstract: 7365. Denison, G. H., and Korte, C. March 24. [Cognate Application, 20,844/11.] Rotary-mould-table machines; reciprocating- mould - table machines. - Relates to hydraulic briquetting-machines. The several parts of the machine are arranged and constructed so that all the functions are automatically controlled and effected by hydraulic pressure. In the form of apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 8, pumps 36, Fig. 1, supply pressure water to (1) the cylinder 41 operating the revolving die-plate 44 bv ratchet mechanism, (2) the main cylinder 51 operating the compressing-ram 45, and (3) the cylinder 54<a> operating the ram 55, which discharges the briquettes from the die-plate. In each case, the pressure water, supplied through pipes 40, 52, and 54 respectively, acts continuously on a small area of the piston, tending to retract it, and acts intermittently, through pipes 53e, 48, 48<a> respectively, on an opposite larger area of the piston, driving it forwards when required. Thus the piston 50, rigidly connected to the piston 49<a> by a cross-head 49<b> and depending rods 49<c>, is raised until a tappet 53<h> operates the valve 53<b>, which admits pressure through the pipe 53<c> to the forward-driving side of a piston in the cylinder 41. The rod 42<a> of this piston turns the die-plate 44 above - mentioned, placing one die to receive material from the hopper 57, one to receive the compressing- ram 45, and one to receive the discharging-ram 55, Fig. 1. The piston-rod 42<a> at the end of its stroke opens the valve 58 and so, by opening the pipe 47<g> to exhaust, permits the valve 47 to admit pressure from pipe 46 through pipes 48, 48<a> to operate the compressing and discharging cylinders 51, 54<a>. The piston 50 draws waste water through the valved duct 60<a> until the uncovering of the openings 50<g> exposes the whole area of the piston to pressure, pressure water being thus economized. The pressure rises as ramming proceeds and raises the valve 47<c>, thus opening the connexion 46<a> so as to raise a piston in the valve 47 and to leave the driving sides of the compressing and discharging cylinders open to exhaust through the pipes 48,59. Shocks are avoided by connecting the pressure pipe 39 to a tube driving a piston and compressing an air cushion. Fig. 20 shows a form adapted for a smaller output. The hopper 76 and ram 80 reciprocate horizontally so as alternately to feed and enter, respectively, the vertically reciprocating part 71. The arrangement of pipes is similar to that already described.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Penstock and like Valves.
Inventor: HINGSTON WILLIAM HALCOT
IPC: F16K31/50

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 10,999. Hingston, W. H. May 6. Actuating. - In sliding valves in which the valve disks are pressed to their seats by wedge action, the resistance experienced during the initial opening movement of the valve is overcome by providing the actuating-mechanism with two s c r e wthreads, the finer one being employed during the initial movement of the valve, the coarse thread coming automatically into operation when the valve disks have been raised slightly from t h e i r seats. As shown in Fig. 1, the spindle a of the valve is provided with a coarse thread m engaging in a nut c which is externally tapped with a fine thread engaging in a corresponding thread in the boss h of the hand-wheel e. The nut c is capable of a small amount of longitudinal movement, limited by a flange d on the nut moving within a space i in the boss h. When the wheel e is rotated to open the valve, the nut c and spindle a move together longitudinally in the boss h under the influence of the fine thread on the nut c. When the flange d reaches the limit of its upward movement in the space i, the nut c then turns integrally with the boss h, the spindle a rising quickly through the coarse thread in the nut c. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the coarse thread p is placed at the lower end of the spindle a and engages in a nut c fixed to the valve. The upper end of the spindle has a fine thread m which engages in a tapped head h which can be turned by a hand-wheel. When the head h is turned, the thread m causes the spindle and valve to rise vertically until a collar d on the spindle abuts against the under part s of the head h. The head h and spindle a then rotate together and the valve b rises rapidly on the coarse thread p. Fig. 3 shows a further modification in which the valve b is operated by a worm a on the spindle engaging a rack c on the valve. The worm is internally threaded to engage a fine thread m on the lower end of the spindle h. When the spindle is rotated, the worm a rises longitudinally on the thread m carrying the valve b with it. When the worm reaches the collar p on the spindle, it ceases to rise but rotates with the spindle and so raises the valve by means of the rack c.

Title: Improvements in Coin Testing Machines.
Inventor: BEDDARD WILLIAM H
IPC: G07F1/04
Filed: 1911-07-21
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 16,770. Beddard, W. H. July 21. Coins, testing.-Relates to coin-testing apparatus, and particularly to that class of apparatus which is used in conjunction with coin-freed machines. The apparatus comprises in combination a device for preventing the insertion of articles exceeding a predetermined thickness, a second device for rejecting rubbish or small articles, a third device for rejecting coins very slightly undersized, or those that are too thin or too heavy, a fourth device for rejecting coins only slightly exceeding a predetermined diameter or not possessing the necessary velocity, and a fifth device for rejecting those that are too light. The coin is inserted in a recess 1, Fig. 1, in the framework, from which it is moved edgeways through a slot 2, Fig. 6, of the exact thickness of a coin, into a shoot 5 of the coin-tester, the slot 2 being normally closed by a spring-raised member 3. The shoot 5 is inclined laterally, and one side is cut away, the coin being supported by rails 6, 7, so that rubbish, very small coins, &c. fall out laterally and pass to an incline 9. From the shoot 5, the coin passes through an opening 12 into a second shoot 13, in which it is supported by rails 14, 15, part of the base of the shoot being formed by a lever 16, Fig. 11, counterweighted at 17. Coins that are too small fall out laterally, while disks that are too heavy or that move with less than a certain velocity depress the pivoted base 16 so as to lose the support of the upper rail 14 and fall out laterally. Thin coins escape between the rail 15 and the edge of the base 16, or jam between these two members, to be discharged at a later stage. The coin next passes under a spring 19, Fig. 10, which it must raise slightly, the spring serving to stop a disk of too great diameter or a disk that is not moving with sufficient velocity. The spring 19 may be adjusted by means of a screw 20, and is mounted in a pivoted member 36. The coin finally passes to a counterweighted lever 21, Fig. 14, and, if of correct weight, depresses it and passes into the coin-freed machine. To ensure the discharge of counterfeits, the lever 16 and the pivoted member 36 are rocked by a lever 32 each time a coin raises a lever' 35 during its passage into the shoot 5, and a spring 43, Fig. 14, which is normally held up by a cam 44, on the member 36, simultaneously sweeps any counterfeit from the counterweighted lever 21. Figs. 15 and 16 show an alternative form of shoot for rejecting rubbish &c., in which the coin is supported by members 50, 51 and during its insertion, by engaging a pin 52, rocks the member 50 into the position shown in Fig. 16.. A flap 63 is adapted to be moved between the members 50, 51 each time a lever 54 connected to a push-rod 55 is operated, the lever 54 rocking a lever 56 having a transverse arm 57 cooperating with a lever 59, which bears on a slotted lever 61 connected to the flap. A forked arm 54' of the lever 54 co-operating with a bracket 53 simultaneously rocks the pivoted member 50.

Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies on; equalizing load on springs. - The body of an automobile or other vehicle is supported upon oscillating rock-arms the motions of which are transmitted through differential-gear to a floating spring device. Two pairs of alined shafts 7, 8 are carried near the ends of a frame 5 which is mounted on springs on the axles. Each shaft carries two drums 17, 20 geared together as follows. The drum 20 is integral with a bevel-wheel 15 which is loose on the shaft and in mesh with wheels 13 carried by a spider fast on the shaft, The wheels 13 gear in turn with a double bevel-wheel 12 loose on the shaft. The wheel 12 is in mesh with gears 10 carried by a spider loose on the shaft, and the pivots of these gears are connected directly or by arms 18 to the drum 17. The gears 10 are also in engagement with a bevel-wheel 9 fast on the shaft. The shafts 7. 8 carry outwardly extending arms 21, 22 on which the body of the vehicle rests. Two floating bars 25, 26 separated by a spring 24 carry doublestepped pulleys 29, 34 at their ends. The drums 17 are connected by cords 27, 31 to the smaller steps of the pulleys 29, 34, and the drums 20 to the larger steps of the same pulleys by cords 30, 35. Anchoring-cords 36, 37 also connect the smaller steps of the pulleys to adjacent parts of the frame 5. The drums and pulleys are so proportioned that tension is put upon the cords 36, 37, and shocks are transmitted to the spring 24 by a differential movement of the drums 17, 20. In a modification, the drums 20 are connected by cords to the bars 25, 26 so as to put the spring 24 in compression, and the drums 17 are connected by cords to a frame which is carried beneath the axles and connected thereto by springs. Two semi-elliptic springs mounted on a single cross-bar may be used instead of the spring 24 and bars 25, 26. The shafts 7, 8 may also be carried on the body instead of on the frame 5.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Filed: 1912-10-09
Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 23,086. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 9. Filaments.-Apparatus for coiling filamentary wire of tungsten, tantalum, or the like into small single or double helices, for use particularly in automobile and miniature lamps, is shown in one form in Fig. 2, and comprises relatively-rotatable holding and shaping means, the former of which strains the wire and yields while coiling occurs. Electric currents may be passed through the wire, to set it in the coiled form, after or during the operation. In the apparatus shown, sliding clips 12, impelled by weights, hold a length of wire 11 across the notched end of a vertical mandrel 1, which can be turned by hand to form a helix upon it. For making double helices, the mandrel has a slot in the end which slopes to either side in order to form a sharp bend in the wire suitable for resting on a support in a lamp. The mandrel is raised to engage the wire, which is thus bowed sufficiently to become coiled upon it as shown in Fig. 6. For making single helices, a mandrel with a deep slot is used, and the clips 12 are at different levels, so that the wire is coiled upwards and downwards on the mandrel. Coiling may be continued until the ends of the wire are withdrawn from the clips 12, or may be stopped at an earlier stage. By stretching the wire diagonallv between opposite corners of the two clips 12, helices are obtained with straight ends. The parts are carried by a bracket 10, which is slidably supported on a standard 20 by a spring clamp 21, and can be raised into a bell-shaped chamber, filled with a protective gas such as hydrogen, and having a transparent front. Electric current may be supplied to the wire through the clips 12 and their supporting- arms, which may be connected permanently to a supply through a switch, but preferably the circuit is completed only when the parts are raised into the protective gas, by a contactplate 40 entering a socket 42, which serves also as a stop. When so raised, the end of the mandrel 1, which is pointed, is steadied in a yielding recessed spring socket 31. The mandrel has a limited vertical movement in a bearing which itself is held by two conical screws 6, allowing some play.
